4. Hunt-Morgan House

Built by Kentucky's first millionaire, this Federal-style brick home dates to 1814 and has sheltered members of one of the state's most prominent families, including a Confederate general and Nobel Prize winner. The structure itself boasts refined details, including a gracious entryway and a three-story, spiral staircase. Interiors have been restored with period furnishings and hark back to Lexington's era as the "Athens of the West." Lovely gardens surround the home, and a Civil War museum occupies its second story.   (© 10Best)
